In Skyrim, you can get the Fortify Barter effect to improve buying and selling prices by wearing enchanted gear, using potions, or getting blessings. Key items include the Blackguard’s Hood (25%), Cicero’s Clothes/Jester Clothes (20%), and Masque of Clavicus Vile (20%). General merchants often sell items with this enchantment, which can be disenchanted for custom gear.
Fortify Alchemy can be obtained by completing Frida's quest at The Mortar and Pestle in Dawnstar, then pickpocketing from her. You can also get it from Muiri's Ring from the Dark Brotherhood Quest "Mourning Never Comes" after finishing the bonus objective. Or simply keep adventuring and hope for a drop.
Any two of these will make a fortify barter potion: Butterfly Wing, Dragon's Tongue, Tundra Cotton, and Hagraven Claws. If you want to gather the ingredients yourself Butterfly Wings are found everywhere during the day.
Use the Transmute Mineral Ore spell to turn your iron ore into gold. Make gold ingots in a smelter, then use a forge to craft gold rings. Sell gold rings to a general merchant for a profit. Wait 48 hours, then repeat, crafting rings until you reach level 100 Smithing.
To obtain it, 15 Daedric artifacts must be collected. Note that due to updates, one need only to have possessed 15 Artifacts (excluding the Skeleton Key). They do not all need to be in the inventory, or even in possession, one just needs to have finished the requisite quests and obtained the items at some point.
Usefulness. While other swords possess higher damage, the special enchantment Dawnbreaker is imbued with makes it very useful for dealing with draugr, especially when confronted by a group of undead in a small space.
Notes. After the Ring of Pure Mixtures has been delivered to Frida, the ring can then be purchased in her shop, taken from her dead body, or stolen from her pocket. If the Ring of Pure Mixtures is not delivered to Frida, it will remain a quest item that cannot be disenchanted.
Elixir of Haggling is a Potion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Potions are consumables that provide a plethora of effects when ingested, ranging from the restoration of Health, Magicka or Stamina, to removing harmful effects, as well as more situational uses such as turning the player invisible.
I usually play with the Dawnbreaker sword while doing the Dawnguard quests because that item fits very well in that context. However, the AoE from the sword affects and damages Serana as well because she is an undead.
Choosing between Dawnguard and Vampires in Skyrim's DLC depends on playstyle: Dawnguard offers crossbows, armored trolls, and anti-undead gear, while the Vampire path provides the powerful Vampire Lord form, unique abilities, and deeper lore integration, though it weakens you in sunlight unless you feed. You can even join Dawnguard and become a Vampire Lord later, but it can break some Dawnguard interactions; the best approach is to save before choosing and try both storylines, as both offer unique rewards and experiences.
There's no single "strongest" weapon in Skyrim; it depends on playstyle, but Windshear (scimitar) is often called the most broken due to its infinite stagger, while crafted Dragonbone or Daedric weapons with maxed Smithing/Enchanting can have the highest raw damage, especially with the Fortify Restoration loop for game-breaking stats, with Stahlrim favored for Frost enchantments. For pure lethality, Mehrunes' Razor (dagger) offers a chance for instant kills.
Can you get Oblivion Walker without killing Erandur?
Yes! As long as you get 13 other Daedric artifacts (so make sure to take the mask and not the axe from Clavicus Vile's quest), you can get Oblivion Walker without killing Erandur and taking the Skull of Corruption. Both of the IMBM artifacts count toward the achievement.
Daedric armor, even with Dawnguard and Dragonborn expansions, is the best heavy armor in Skyrim. Sound epic right! The only problem, one must first reach level 48 before it can be obtained, and even then, its twenty times less likely to appear than any of the other armor types.
You need exactly 669 gold ingots to smith gold rings to maximise your Smithing skill from level 17 to 100. Tried and tested today on Skyrim AE with a level 4 Imperial.
Trainers can provide lessons that increase your skill level in their area of expertise in exchange for gold. You may train up to five times per level. Trainers cannot raise skills past 90 -- you must earn the last ten points by using the skill, reading skill books, or obtaining quest rewards.
